    My feeling as well, a saving of 2% is insignificant for a single roast, however over 12 months it would be substantial. Wink
    a few bags of coffee saved over the year is hardly going to effect the bottom line of a roastery. Absorbing the increase in green prices and keeping wholesale prices the same will because everyone is too scared to raise prices on coffee will (be it roasteries or cafes).  :-/

      so drifting lighter to save a few kilos versus the risk of alienating your customers........I wouldnt think so.



      As with all industries there are variabilities in what rosters prioritise. Some focus on consistency, some focus on quality, some focus on freshness and some focus on cash.

      There is no way to generalise what the ethics of a business is. Goodies ;D and baddies >

      Some roast lighter for margins, some dont.

        Can you create a blend that works well as a spro, milk-based, and soy-based?  You might be chasing your tail trying to rope in all of those requirements.

        Also places might not have enough space to have all the spare grinders and machines for each style.

        Youre trying to keep the workflow as simple as possible, not complicate it...
        IMHO this should be the minimal requirement for any venue which is serious about its coffee - its not rocket science to get these elements right and too few cafes roast specifically for milk based coffees - which is what the majority of customers drink

        A well put together espresso blend should satisfy all of the above requirements and if it doesnt then its not well put together - in my opinion at least...

        And a dedicated espresso grinder takes care of the rest...

        Mind you if youre going to have a dedicated espresso grinder you nay as well use it to showcase your single origins...

        Not sure why I keep adding ... To the end of my sentences - maybe its a mobile thing ...

          The equipment is top end, the beans are uber specialty, so the result must be good?
          Rhetorical question?

          During my last trip to Melbourne I found most of what was served to me way to sour and far to tight.
          I didnt find that.
          Maybe you picked the wrong places.

            Mmmm sounds like a recent thread discussion around here  :

            Also got to love that all of the St Ali stores got a coffee mention in the article coffee for comment
